Been trying to play every day. The "Measuring Up" puzzle took me almost 20 minutes - figured out the words fast but it was a hard swap! This holds up, I've been looking forward to it as my morning puzzle.
That's so good to know! It's really interesting trying to devise puzzles that balance the difficulty of the word guessing and the swapping to kind of "even out".
RE: The Mini-Boo Update. So good! Today's puzzle (clue: "Fly Me to the Moon") had me stumped for a while and then there was a big ah-hah moment. Which feels like the hallmark of a good puzzle.
Yay!! I'm so glad! Did you notice the little sparkle next to the title and mouse over it...?
No! I missed it!
This is very clever! I feel like I have a lot of control and can "set up combos" by looking forward a turn or two. "100 letters" felt like a lot to me, I kinda wanted a smaller experience that wrapped up around 15-20 letters (10 turns or so?) and gave me a "result" that made me feel smart. I hope you keep fleshing this out!
I’ve been thinking that same thing and kinda wanted the Daily Puzzle to be a bit of that, but it obviously isn’t quite that. But that’s a version of the daily puzzle that I want to look into doing!
